Regular giving of firstfruits

Leviticus 23:10 “Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, ‘When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall  reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:”

The children of Israel were instructed to give firstfruit on a regular basis and not once in a while as a way of honouring God for what they have harvested. According to our theme scripture,  every harvest they got, they gave firstfruit. 

It is said that when one had a huge garden and they have sowed seed, the first plants which budded were tied with a string or ribbon. When they fully bore fruit, they would be put together in a basket and offered to the priest as firstfruit. 

Even in our day, firstfruits are a gift one ought to give with regularity. God gives us a harvest of finances daily, weekly, monthly, sesonally or yearly, it is honouring to Him when we offer Him the firstfruit of those regular provisions we acquire. 

Make it your habit to give firstfruit of every harvest you get regularly. This can be the first of your 12 months salary, or the first hour of the total number of hours you work a day, first profit of the day in a week etc and you will receive abundance.
